War for the Planet of the Apes — Sneak-Peek Clip: 'Meeting Bad Ape'

Get a better look at Steve Zahn's incredible motion-capture performance in a new sneak-peek clip from "War for the Planet of the Apes," featuring an extended scene with Zahn's "Bad Ape" character.

When talking-ape leader Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) and his simian soldiers stumble across an abandoned building, they discover a scraggly ape survivor (Zahn). Caesar is amazed to see that the ape, a former zoo animal, has taught himself to speak like a human. Caesar is then told about a potential danger.

"Bad place. Human zoo. Bad human." It's a reference to Woody Harrelson's character, "The Colonel," who's been building a powerful army of ape-hating soldiers, and they are about to strike at any moment.

"War for the Planet of the Apes," directed by Matt Reeves, opens nationwide on July 14th.
